A Realistic Day of Street Photography in Hanoi, Vietnam during Lunar New Year (Tết)

During the Lunar New Year in Hanoi, known as Tết, the city is dotted with vibrant and colourful markets.
Excitement and energy fill the streets as locals purchase flowers, kumquat trees, new clothes, and offerings to burn to bring good luck in the new year and pay homage to their ancestors.
This video shows a full day of documenting the people and moments of Hanoi during these festive preparations. The time cut between each photography scene is notated to give a sense of scale.
While not all photography days offer shots I'm excited about, this day was one of my favourites while in Hanoi for the month.
I captured these scenes using my Canon R5 with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens and a GoPro atop it. All images were edited using CaptureOne.
This video is part of my five-part series on Hanoi, Vietnam, during the Lunar New Year (Tết). Subscribe for more street photography videos and POV content to come from all over Asia including Japan, Thailand, and South Korea.
I’ve recently settled in London, England since I filmed these scenes in Hanoi. If you’re into street photography and want to shoot, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
